Primary Care Based Integrated Cancer Screening Initiative A Nursing Student Pilot Project Objective Increase screening rates for breast, cervical, colorectal cancers in partnership with Primary Care Practitioners and provide a new placement opportunity for 4th year nursing students
The Evidence • One-on-one primary care based interventions lead to a greater uptake in cancer screening Pilot Concept • 4th Year student nurses placed within primary care offices with a focus on cancer screening & prevention • 10 students from Sept ‘13- Apr ’14 within 3 PCP offices & 1 FHT Student Role within PCP: • Utilizing TPSR+SARS to identify eligible patients • Targeted interventions: face to face for scheduled patients & telephone interventions for non scheduled patients • Cancer screening education and facilitation of appointments & tests • Patient follow up completed at timed intervals
Research Component • To study behavioral and social determinants that impact cancer screening • U of Windsor REB approval • Consent cards developed to collect patient consent from patients willing to participate • Phone consent and in-person consent • Consent collected by Student RN during intervention • Consenting patients are contacted by the research assistant to gather relevant information
Outcomes • Summer time – data clean up and follow up on tests, appointments etc • Ongoing: analysis of post clean-up data Original Interventions – Total 745
Outcomes & Data limitations • SAR and TPSR lists were used to create a workable excel database to determine baseline screening rates and for tracking of the screening interventions • The results presented are very basic based on interventions • Increases in the screening rates are attributable to: • The actual screening intervention and resulting completion of the appropriate tests • Any updates to the database as the students worked through it (i.e. removing inactive patients, adding new rostered patients etc.)
